Help Me Welcome Godwin Odiye To CyberEagles

Please help me welcome Godwin Odiye to Cyber Eagles.

For the older geneartions that knows him, he was an excellent defender.

Odiye was one excellent defender, it is a shame that he appeared 20 years earlier.

For the younger generation, I would describe Odiye in the same class as Franco Baresi, Taribo West or even better.

Thanks for all the wonderful memories you gave us.

We are privilege to have somebody of the class of Goddy discussing football with us on CE.

Let us hear your memories of Godwin Odiye that you remember during his playing days for Super Eagles.

Please post your welcome messages here for Godwin Odiye.

Thanks

Sagaloooooooooooooooh!!!!!!!

Welcome.
But I seem to recall you were with us a year or two ago when you were filling us in with the dirty politics that used to (and probably still does) go on in the Super Eagles camp.

Having said that, let it be known that you were a classy defencer.

Hey..Odiye, you broke my heart as a little boy growing up in Ngeria when you scored that own goal against Tunisia in 1978 World Cup qualifying. It so pained me that I was sick for more than two weeks and my life was almost ruined as a result. I don't know if I will ever forgive you for that mishap. But I will. Make sure you don't score an own goal in this forum

Is this a 419 post? How can you tell us to welcome someone who has been welcomed in the past? And then to make matters worse, there is no sign of the person you are telling us to welcome.

Well, I guess, Welcome Odiye.

Now, would everyone help me wlecome Okocha. Trust me he is here.

The own goal was rather unfortunate however Godwin must have done other things life prior and post that own goal. I will like him to share with us his best memories of playing for the Green Eagles.

Believe it or not I was thinking about you yesterday , I was even gonna post a piece on this forum to plead with you to come back.There has been several vilifications of Chukwu on this forums and I was hoping as a guy who played with in Green eagles will help attest to his true deportment as a player and a gentleman. Hopefully your presence in the forum as an ex international player will help put some self proclaimed soccer gurus on check.Wellcome back Mr Godwin Odiye

Godwin, what word of advice do you have for CCC and the present crop of players in this ACN and beyond,especially the ones that have "made' it with regard to discipline? How can we prevent own goal? Just kidding! Welcome back. Oya post biko!

Cyber Saint · Post by **Cyber Saint** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 3:50 am

Godiye, welcome if you're in da house.
Yeah, I was told about the episode - nigerian has scored Nigeria - in the very descriptive phrase of the indefitagble Ernest Okonkwo of the blessed memory.
But I was also told of many other wonderful +ive contribution from you, as a player. So you're still a Nigerian HERO.

I never saw Odiye play. He must have been darn good because he was actually recalled in the build up to the 1994 world cup. A good 15 + years after he last played for the national team.
